Number of Asm failuregroup disks needed

hi guys,
guys can ane one tell me...for normal and high redundancy how many failure groups have to configured and how many disks can stay in each failure group please

A diskgroup is divided into failure groups and each disk is inexactly one failure group. A failure group is a collection of disks that can become unavailable due to failure of one of its associated components.
Redundancy for diskgroups can be either normal where files are two way mirrored (requiring alleast two failure groups) or high redundancy which provides a higher degree of protection using three way mirroring (requring atleast three failure groups).
After you create a diskgroup, you cannot change its redundancy level. If you want a different redundancy, then you must create another diskgroup with the desired rendundancy, then move the datafiles using RMAN restore from the original diskgroup to the newly created diskgroup.

  • "Error: disk needs to be repaired.. "

    When I run disk utility I got the message "Error disk needs to be repaired.." In addition i got the errors:
    Incorrect number of file hard links
    Volume bitmap needs minor repair for orphaned blocks
    Invalid volume free block count
    When I restart and after command R, I run the Disk utility but then it shows no errors, what is the problem then?. Thanks

    Try removing these one at a time:
         /Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
         /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist
         /Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library
    Place one at a time into the Trash but do not Empty the Trash. Try to open and use iPhoto. If iPhoto works then the item you put in the Trash is the cause of the problem. If the problem turns out to be iPhoto Library, then you will need to look to a third-party utility that can fix the library.
    To find the invisible library folder:
    Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
    Pick one of the following methods:
    A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN.
    B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
    C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:

  • How ASM Manages Disk Failures

    Hi,
    Was going through Oracle ASM document and came across this topic, need some clarification on this please.
    "The disks are first taken offline and then automatically dropped. In this case, the disk group remains mounted and serviceable. In addition, because of mirroring, all of the disk group data remains accessible. After the disk drop operation, Oracle ASM performs a rebalance to restore full redundancy for the data on the failed disks".   -- What does this mean?
    Thanks

    Simple example.
    Single normal redundancy diskgroup DATA1 with 2 failgroups called MIRROR1 and MIRROR2. Each failgroup has 3 x disks (let's say 512GB).
    Disk 2 in failgroup MIRROR1 fails. The MIRROR1 failgroup is not available as a result. DB operations continue unaware of the problem as MIRROR2 is online and working fine.
    The dba cannot fix disk 2 within the meantime for repair period of ASM. ASM forces disk 2 out the MIRROR1 failgroup by force dropping it. MIRROR1 has now 2 disk remaining.
    ASM starts a rebalance process to stripe the contents of the MIRROR1 failgroup across 2 disks - as oppose to 3 disks. If the space in use fits on 2 disks the rebalance operation will succeed. MIRROR1 will become online and available. But it will only be able to carry 1TB of data, as oppose to MIRROR2 with it 3 disks and 1.5TB capacity.
    If the space used cannot be striped across the remaining disks in MIRROR1, the rebalance will fail due to insufficient capacity and the failgroup will remain offline.
    In either scenario, the recommended action is to add a new 512GB disk to MIRROR1, reverting it back to a 3 disk failgroup, and then rebalance the failgroup.

  • PNY 128 GB "This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk"

    I have used three PNY 128 GB USB drives on my iMac.  One works fine, one worked briefly but was never recognized again, and the third has the following problem.
    New out of the box today, it was recognized immediately on the iMac (FAT32).  I reformatted it to OS X Journaled with no problem.
    I tried to encrypt it, but got an alert that it had to be partitioned with a GUID partition scheme first.  I created 1 GUID partition for the entire disk without issue.
    I then encrypted it with no problem.
    When I tried to remount it, it didn't show up.
    Unlike my other PNY 128 GB that was never recognized again, this drive did show up in red text in disk utility.
    I verified the disk in disk utility and got the following alert "This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.'
    When I run "Repair Disk," it runs then gives me the alert again "This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk."  It never repairs the disk and just keeps the same loop going.
    I have restarted the computer, mounted and remounted the drive numerous times and get the same result.  I have a fresh install of Yosemite (due to a number of other issues with the iMac).
    Can I do something or does this go back to the store tomorrow?

  • Two HDDs saying 'disk needs to be repaired' at same time / external drive.

    Hello there,
    I have had a strange problem within the last couple of days. Both my iMac which I use at the office and my MacBook Pro have had problems writing to an external FW800 drive which I work directly off [the error comes when I try and save from an application / try and copy / rename files on the drive]. The message is that either a problem occurred or that the filename is too long [it isn't]. When this happens I try and restart, but the disk causes the finder to hang.
    This has happened with both machines [the iMac and MBP], and as a consequence - when I run disk utility on each machine, I get a message that the disk needs to be repaired:
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
    Has anybody had similar problems? Is this a coincidence? Or would blame point to the external drive?
    The drive is a Lacie Rugged 250gb FW / USB. It does get rather hot - don't know if that should affect anything.
    Many thanks,
    Ben

    Could this problem in turn cause the internal HDD problems I've been experiencing with the iMac and the MBP after the Lacie becomes unresponsive?
    Or, your internal HD problems are transferring to the Ext.?
    It's hard to say. I would at least do the following basic repairs to all your hard drives.......
    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
    Think it might have to be returned...
    Yes I would return it just cause of the heat issue alone.

  • Yosemite won't install on my computer because the disk needs to be repaired. I verify, it indicates repair is needed but then the repair disk button can't be clicked. I tried to start in safe mode but it just froze.

    I'm to install Yosemite but it tells me the disk need to be repaired. When I verify the repair disk button remains pale and in-clickable. I'm not sure which version of OS X I'm running but I do know I forgot to back up. Help me o-message board, you're my only hope!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First of all, open the Apple menu -> About this Mac, and tell us what OS X version you have.
    If it is 10.6.x, you need the Snow Leopard DVD. Insert it, press the C key while your Mac is starting up, choose your language and go to Utilities menu (in the menu bar) -> Disk Utility.
    If it is 10.7.x or higher, hold down Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up to boot up in OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
    After opening Disk Utility, choose your OS X partition in the sidebar (it is usually named "Macintosh HD") and press "Repair Disk". When it has finished, restart your Mac, make a backup of your files and try upgrading to OS X Yosemite.
    The backup will help you in case you decide to go back to the OS X version you are using now. If you cannot make a backup and the disk repair does not work, you will have to format the hard disk.

  • Booting with DVD problem!!! Disk needs repair

    Hello,
    Ran disk utility and I got the «disk needs repair» error. Please boot from install DVD
    Okay no panic I try to do it.
    First try holding C key and with the snow leopard DVD (retail not the one I got with the computer) = failure keeps me on the apple window
    Tried it with the DVD I got with the macbook pro while holding the C key again = faileure keeps me on the apple window
    The computer works fine except it tends to bog down
    I'm running lion and my macbook pro is less than a year old
    I also have Norton antivirus (because YES there are viruses again - anyway norton told me there were when I scanned my HD a while back -). I tried disabling it totally and tried the same things but to no avail...
    Can anyone help? Have I overlooked something obvious? Or is somehting more complicated necessary?
    Thanks in advance

    If you've installed Lion, the 10.6 disk won't help you. You need to hold down Command-R during boot to bring up Lion recovery ... you can then run Disk Utility.
    Oh, and agree with Allan, dump Norton. If you want an antivirus, install ClamXav from http://www.clamxav.com

  • 'Disk Needs Repair' warning on base station w/ Hitachi 2TB USB Drive

    Trying to use my new 2TB USB Hitachi XL Desk Drive (mac formatted) on my extreme base station. Drive works perfectly on my MacBook Pro but when I plug it in to the base station both with & without a powered usb hub, airport utility says 'Disk Needs Repair' & amber light flashes. Disk shows up in utility as a 1.8TB Hitachi but disk title is not listed. Other drives work just fine on the base station. Not sure what else to try at this point.

    Connect the drive back to your MacBook Pro.
    Open Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Click on your drive on the left side of the window to highlight it, then click Repair Disk over on the lower right of the window. May take 30-90 minutes or so depending on how much data is on the drive.
    You may also need to click Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility as well.
    IF...you are using the drive for Time Machine backups, Apple does not support backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. You will have issues if you try this.

  • Error : disk needs to be repaired | macBook Pro 15"

    Hello everybody,
    when I try to verify my HD from the Disk Utility, it tells I have a problem and I get this message " this disk needs to be repaired using the recovery hd restart your computer..... " as shown in the photo below.
    after restarting the computer and choosing Disk Utility, I first choosed to Verify and Repair the "Virtual Whole Disk"  it worked well for both and the result was OK and the "Disk Status is : Online"
    But the problem is I can't repaire the "OS X Base System", I can only verify. The button "Repaire Disk" is greyed out
    Can someone help me solving this problem?
    Thanks

    Pretty difficult to tell. I'm guessing a serious mess-up in the directory structure and/or partition map. But that's just guesswork.
    Can you still successfully boot from the Recovery HD? If so, then you can do the following:
    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should install the version of OS X that you had installed.

  • This disk needs to be repaired:

    I have just checked my hard drive and got this message:
    Disk Utility has stopped verifying "Macintosh HD"
    This disk needs to be repaired. Startup your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disk), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
    I don't have the disk as I am in a remote part of Ireland miles from both my disk and an Apple store.
    Now, my question is, if I update to 10.7 or later via the App Store - I'm currently using 10.6.8 - will I not need to use the OS X disk?

    You can not install OS X in system without a properly verified and repaired disk.
    Wait until you can get hold of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard disc to do the Disk Repair.

  • Disk needs to be repaired, but I don't have the OS X installation disc.

    My MacBook Pro has been slow and crashing so I verified the HD. "Disc utility stopped verifying Macintosh HD. This disk needs to be repaired". I don't have the OS X (snow leopard) disc here, I don't have any friends with Macs nearby, and I'm not near an Apple store. Is there anything I can do? I will be able to get the disk tomorrow, but I need to finish a project today.
    Also, if it makes any difference, before this Pages stopped working and I couldn't get it going even after Community help, then I tried to download OS X mountain Lion and couldn't get it to complete the upload, but I couldn't find a reason why even after checking the community board's answers to other people.
    Thanks for any help.

    Downloading Mt Lion will only cause more problems, because a lot of present software (and hardware drivers for printers, scanners etc) you might have will not work with it.
    You will not be able to get a disk today, the disk you need is only available from Apple by calling them on the phone.
    You have to find out your exact Mac model, like MacBook Pro 3,1 for instance, because the free MacTracker will tell you something very important, the version of OS X that came with the machine.
    You see Intel Mac's that came originally with 10.6.2 or earleir can use the 10.6.3 white retail disk (sans the free iLife) which is easy and cheaper to get. Even Amazon will carry that if your in a rush and willing to pay more.
    Mac's that came with 10.6.3+ need machine specific versions that can take longer to get from Apple, could cost more and include the free iLife suite.
    If your machine came with 10.5, then the 10.6.3 white retail disks will do and you can extract iLife from the 10.5 disks with Pacifist from CharelsSoft in case it comes to a reinstall.
    To boot from the 10.6 disk, hold c or option key down.
    However if your computer can't be repaired via the disk, you might have to backup, erase and install 10.6 again.

  • Disk needs to be repaired using the recovery HD

    Hello,
    I have received an error when running disk utility that says, "This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD." This issue has popped on a couple of times on my previous MacBooks and maybe once on my current one.
    I have followed the suggested protocol (restart + command + r), and I choose disk utilities from the menu at start-up. I have both verified and repaired the disk (my HD), and disk utility says there are no errors; however, when I do a normal restart and run disk utilities again, I get the error message This disk needs to be repaired" again. I have cycled through this process and each time verify and repair disk on the Recovery HD indicates that nothing is wrong while verifying the disk on normal startup results in the same error. I computer has also been laggy.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
